Roger Waters is gearing up for a productive 2017. Not only has the former Pink Floyd member announced a 40-date 2017 North American tour — one of the most hotly anticipated (and expensive!) of the year — but he’s also working on a solo album with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. In a new video posted to his official Instagram account, Waters serves up a short bass lick that will presumably appear on the as-yet-untitled album. Check it out below.

In a recent interview, Waters described the album as featuring 12 songs that are “part magic carpet ride, part political rant, part anguish.” Overall, though, the forthcoming LP is about love. “It’s pondering … the question of how do we take these moments of love – if we are granted any in our lives – and allow that love to shine on the rest of existence, on others.”
